The Biden administration weaponizing the DOJ against Trump is the perception of millions of people.
Same goes for “rigged election”. These delusions seem to come from the same source.

May’s political rise to the state House

After May’s election in 2020, he helped create the Freedom Caucus, a group of the House’s most conservative members who say mainstream House Republicans aren’t the true conservative heart of the GOP. He also helped the campaigns of Republicans running against GOP House incumbents.

“We as legislators have an obligation to insure that our children have no harm done to them,” May said in January 2024 on the House floor during a debate on transgender care for minors.


These guys are using MAGA as cover. And no, this doesn't mean everyone who is with MAGA is a pedophile. It just means that's where these guys go to hide themselves. And they are trying to take over the party, claiming that they are the "true conservative heart of the GOP." The old-line conservatives like McConnell and Romney have been removed.

I take it you find the POTUS using the DOJ for his vengeful purposes is an appropriate use of Executive power?
Works for Putin.

Here is his schedule for today

Vice President Vance is scheduled for a virtual meeting with President Trump, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, and European leaders today, August 13, 2025, to discuss the Ukraine conflict ahead of Trump's summit with Putin on August 15. This call is expected to last about an hour, with Vance and Trump not participating in a second call involving a broader coalition supporting Ukraine. Additionally, Vance is on holiday in the Cotswolds, England, staying in Charlbury, where his presence has sparked local protests and heightened security, though no specific public events are noted for today beyond the virtual summit.

Question: how is he going to meet at his home like the op states when he is in the UK?

How embarrassing! Yet another item from an unknown source blows up in their face and people still believe them.

Pitiful

Didn't happen - they edited it on Wednesday -
Good grief. This is getting almost as bad as extracting meaning from ancient religious texts.

The original article was posted on Tues, Aug 5, and referenced a meeting to take place on Wed, Aug 6. That article was updated in the morning of Wed, Aug 6, and by then the article (which I believe was not further edited) was referring to a meeting CNN (and other news outlets) had information would take place at the USNO on the evening of Wed, Aug 6.

Now why did they say "Wed" instead of "tomorrow" in the original or "today" when it edited on Wed morning is that relative timing can be confusing, particularly about articles describing the near future. Even when it was posted originally, it was already Aug 6 in some parts of the world. If they had meant Aug 13 (the current "today", thought I believe Aug 14 just started in some places) they would have said "next Wednesday" (especially when posted on a Tues night as this was) or used today's date (Aug 13), or both.

CNN is not a daily newspaper with a clear publication date on the edition. (If a newspaper article says "tomorrow" and I want to know what day they are talking about I read the paper's date from the top even if it is 100 years old.) Nor, is a CNN . com article part of a news broadcast made at a specific time. If the reporter had gone on one of CNN's evening shows they would have said (and likely did) "tomorrow".

At some point (the 5th, 6th, or 7th), VP Vance responded to a reporter's question in the Oval Office about if there was to be (or had been) such a meeting at the USNO and Vance told one of those "lies of omission" by stating (technically true) something to the effect of there would be (or wasn't) no meeting at the USNO on Epstein strategy. Obscuring that the meeting would (or did) take place *AT THE WHITE HOUSE* instead of the USNO.

So, no the fact that CNN edited their article on the morning of Wed Aug 6th and it still said the meeting will take place "on Wednesday" did not mean they expected the meeting to take place today, but rather later that evening, Wed Aug 6th.

Prove the meeting took place and this debate is over.

Nine different sources said it was never planned

  • JD Vance himself denied that any meeting at his residence was about Epstein, though he acknowledged that meetings at the White House occurred and were not focused on Epstein.
Once again, it is the media creating things that are not there.

Once again, it is JD Vance denying something reported by the media. This really doesn't settle things one way or the other.

Considering how hysterical the Democrats have been over Trump, it's within the realm of possibility.
Serious question. Could it not be Trump himself? Do we need to go over his history of screwing contractors, along with both civil and criminal fraud, along with his namesake org being found guilty of being a criminal org? You kind of remind of one of those parents whose child is arrested or found guilty talking about how they are being singled out. And then you look at the child's rap-sheet and it's long as 1-90. Now that I think about it, Trump used that defense himself.

No I don't think Trump himself caused that much hysteria by Trump being Trump. I think most of it has been generated by Democrat politicians, media and influencers.

You think his six bankruptcies is a Democrat generation?
You think his long NY history of screwing contractors is a Democrat generation?
You think his Trump Charity being shut down for fraud is a Democrat generation?
You think his Trump U being shut down for fraud is a Democrat generation?
You think the Trump Org being found guilty is a Democrat generation?
You think his conviction of cooking his books regarding loans is a Democrat generation?
You probably think him cheating on his wife with a porn actress while the wife sat home with the newborn is a Democrat generation.

All those are of Trump's own choices. You kind of sound just like one of those parents I mention.

You're reading from a script generated by Democrat politicians, media and influencers. You could be someone else from another forum several years ago who was reading from that same script back then. Although none of that portion really chalks up to the massive hysteria.

No, I am reading court documents, indictments, and trial convictions.

Was he a Drag Queen? That's what we need to know before we can throw stones at the beam in his eye for an eye?

This was a very weird selection of text to respond to. You quoted my summary, which was about the inane notion that the meeting hadn't happened because it was supposed to happen today (Aug 13). As for the reporting that the moving took place elsewhere, I refer you to post #112 and will not argue with you whether you trust JD Vance. I do not, but your mileage may vary.
